gitlab_project_access_token: Provider produced inconsistent final plan

Bug Report

When applying a plan which rotates tokens, it fails with an inconsistent plan. Interestingly, it does work, if a new plan is created and applied afterwards. So probably related to something with the time provider again.

╷
│ Error: Provider produced inconsistent final plan
│ 
│ When expanding the plan for gitlab_project_access_token.token to
│ include new values learned so far during apply, provider
│ "registry.terraform.io/gitlabhq/gitlab" produced an invalid new value for
│ .id: was known, but now unknown.
│ 
│ This is a bug in the provider, which should be reported in the provider's
│ own issue tracker.
╵

Relevant Terraform Configuration

terraform {
  required_providers {
    gitlab = {
      source  = "gitlabhq/gitlab"
      version = "17.1.0"
    }
  }
}

variable "gitlab_token" {
  type = string
  sensitive = true
}

provider "gitlab" {
  token    = var.gitlab_token
  base_url = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4"
}

resource "time_offset" "year" {
  offset_days = 364
}

resource "gitlab_project_access_token" "token" {
  project      = 58586280
  name         = "token"
  expires_at   = split("T", time_offset.year.rfc3339)[0]
  access_level = "developer"
  scopes       = ["read_api"]
}

Relevant Terraform Command

terraform init
terraform apply --auto-approve
# change the offset_days in time_offset.year to something that will cause a rotation of the token or wait for the next day :D
terraform taint time_offset.year # this could also be triggered by using a time_rotating resource
TF_LOG_PATH=$(pwd)/log.jsonl TF_LOG=JSON terraform apply --auto-approve # this fails

Relevant Log Output

I have gone over the output for more than 2 hours now, it should not contain anything sensitive, but putting it in an internal note anyways to be safe.

These are the debug logs of the `terraform` command output: 
Provided in internal note
